PARAVICINI'S ITALIAN BISTRO REVIEWS
Stopped here with a large group and they found us a table. Took little time but we were a large group. They got a sour drinks right away. Give us time to look over the menu. It did not take long for our food to come out. The food was really good. They did bring us bread before the food and said it was from a local bakery and that we were teared apart with our hands. They gave us olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip it in. It was good but we probably would have preferred it to be warm. The staff was really good. The food was really good.
Amazing, delicious, authentic restaurant. My husband and I have never had Italian food this authentic or seafood that delicious. It is worth the drive and the price! Definitely book a reservation, it is usually crowded especially in the evenings. Service was spot on, the wine, bread, main courses and dessert were absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back.
Absolutely loved everything about this place. Nestled in a cute ittle corner spot in Colorado Springs it was one of our favorite during our 7 days of traveling the state. The ride to get here from Leadville was like none other!! Amazing eggplant parm and spaghetti and meatballs.

LA BELLA VITA RISTORANTE ITALIANO REVIEWS
Took my wife for her birthday and we both had a great time. The food was great and the service was excellent. We had the veal marsala and manicotti, with a ceasar salad. The affogato was amazing and a great finish to an amazing meal and experience. The staff mentioned the owners are from Italy and work as chef preparing the meals. They offered all the main entrees you would expect and had seasonal and local options as well. Will definitely be back to try more!.
Found the best Italian restaurant in the Springs! The photos don’t do the food justice. Everything was delicate and delicious….The sauce on the chicken rolatini was so good that it even made spinach palatable to a toddler. Caesar salad and Tiramisu were excellent too. Our waiter was attentive, fast, and made great recommendations.
It is a good place for a date or a family birthday. The food is great and the staff is friendly.

RED GRAVY REVIEWS
The chicken Marsala is going to go down as one of my favorite dishes in Colorado. The cream sauce is so delicious you want to lick the plate. It has artichoke hearts, mushrooms, chicken, and these fluffy gnocchi pillows. My husband got a diavolo pizza but really he just wanted to eat my dish. They even had tasty wine selections and my favorite beer in Europe Hoegaarden.
Service was quite good, atmosphere is a bit odd, more like a collage bar than an Italian restaurant. The food leaves a bit to be desired, the house salad was soggy and disgusting, the pasta was average. I tried it, would not go again. Try Luigi’s or Roman Villa for good Italian.
Fantastic place! The service was good but the food and drinks were amazing! This was our first time here and my friend and I shared the toasted ravioli and they were so good. My friend had the campanelle chicken pesto and she said it was great. I had the lasagna and I loved it. We had great drinks as well. I'll definitely be returning with my husband.
